It seems GoW Ragnarock and Starfield scale on 8 cores.

Considering the test is made at 720p, the difference must be basically zero at 1080p, in many titles.

Temps are good, power consumption too.

Now Intel only needs a patch to boost gaming performance of 10-15%...

A miracle, basically.

Please test the iGPUs across the 3 CPUs.

hi what was the song at the very end of microsoft flight sim during the results screen?

[clubghz]

Buy 13600K OC $200 and you can drag 4080 / 5070 through this.

[jokersblackcard]

HELLO.
Can you test it for Cyberpunk, Alan Wake and Indiana Jones with pathtracing and full-raytracing ?

[NicolasR-Geek]

ok but the same video in 4k just to watch the difference

All processor reviews only with 4090. How many people play with this card? These are not reviews for normal players.

[lukasjozef]

So basically is Raptor Lake without HT, highly undervolted, less performance for more money, Intel you nailed it😅.

I can't find a 285k in Toronto, it's sold out everywhere since launch. I went with a 265k and paired it with an Asus Xtreme Z890, 4090, 1500w PSU, Dual 4TB Samsung 990 pro, and dual Samsung G9 monitors (57" and 49"). The system runs amazing. Can't wait for the 5090. I'll get 1 or 2 when it comes out for my 2 computers at home.

[MRdeLaat]

i can run doom eternal with 180 + fps with my 9900 KS at 1440
